This caused an issue with me a while back... and I'll pose the question here... If you are departing a controlled airport and the departure puts you thru a "Stadium TFR" is it up to you or the controller to know that? will the controller warn you or keep you clear with departure instructions? Or do you have to say "unable" and explain why??
